i can not get the break dust off my rims....does anyone have any tips? they are the regular stock rims. i tried some cleaner stuff i got from autozone....and that worked a little bit, i scrubbed it with a SOS pad, and that didnt work!.....so could someone pleaseeeeeeeee help me!

 

Umm break dust shouldn't be really hard to get off. I think you may be trying to get off paint or something because it should come off with your hand rubbing it and water.

 

also try Simple Green, that's what I use on my wheels.

 

If not.. try goo gone. That stuff pulls even tar off metal...

 

not if its been on there for a long time....and i would know if it was paint or break dust hun, and its break dust.....i just got this car from someone who didnt really take care of it like he should have so im pretty sure its been on there for awhile.





thanks to everyone else that has given me things to try......i appreciate it!

 

Armor All makes a product that's pretty good. You might consider it. Regardless of product brand, you may well have to provide a substantial amount of elbow grease--at least that was the case after I'd purchased some used IROC wheels (several hours over several days). Now that they're clean, I simply use Eagle One polish from time to time.

thank u

 

You definitely need to use this....Eagle One Etching Mag Cleaner. It's perfect for our stock rims. Spray on wash off. I know those usually don't work but they made my dirty A$$ rims look brand spanking new. Trust me on this one. It's in a black bottle and can be found at any Pep Boys or ABC auto store.

 

I think p21s wheel cleaner is the best and safest I have used.Some of that stuff you find at these auto stores do more harm then good.I have only found it online(autodetail.com)but hear some bmw dealers have it.Its expensive but worth it,I think.Since I started using it I havnt used anything else.

 

hopefully i get to try something this weekend....i live in michigan and its not all that great to have all 4 seasons in one week...but thanks to u all!!!!!

Ive been having this same problem i use wheel cleaner and i clean them about once a week but stuff just stays on there. I used some metal polish and that got it off, its just a pain.

 

i used something in a orange bottle..i dont remember what its called tho, and it got alot off, but there was still parts of the rim where it wouldnt come off....my rims look like Sh^t....im pretty much broke this week so i didnt try anything new, but i will next thursday...i hope u have better luck with urs then im having with mine.....
